Thu Mar 27 07:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Sudanese Military Reclaims Khartoum from Rapid Support Forces
**Khartoum, Sudan** – In a stunning development marking a potential turning point in Sudan’s nearly two-year civil war, the Sudanese military has driven the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group out of the capital, Khartoum. Military chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan declared Khartoum “free” after his forces seized the presidential palace, prompting jubilant celebrations in the streets. Residents poured into the streets, cheering soldiers and chanting “One army, one people.”
The RSF, which had occupied Khartoum since the war’s outbreak, withdrew in large numbers on Wednesday. While the military’s victory represents a significant shift in the conflict, which has caused widespread devastation, famine, and massacres, analysts warn that the war is far from over. The RSF is expected to regroup in its western stronghold of Darfur, where it has threatened to establish a rival government and continue fighting. The military is currently conducting sweeps of the city to apprehend any remaining RSF fighters. The long-term implications of this major development remain uncertain.
